The
Bad News
If you own a property and fail to
comply with local by laws, the council will get somebody like me to fix it up.
I may charge Council $100 but they will charge you around $500 or more.

Recently
Council have dramatically increased penalties and introduced new procedures
which has reduced their tolerance and increased the urgency of action and
timeliness.

Unfortunately
the six foot grass that has been there for six months must be removed yesterday
and the four foot grass tolerated in the past now needs be fixed up when it's
one foot.

Council are
more than ever conducting random inspections and at the same time the general
public or landowners neighbouring your land are complaining.

The
Good News The council are very fair and
understanding. They know that weather conditions etc. can make maintenance
difficult and they will grant you an extension where required.
Communication is the key to saving hundreds of dollars.

Below is your typical council notice.
Fred would much rather fix it up for you than for council. You will save
hundreds.
The below notice these days is usually accompanied with Information Notice and
possibly even photos.
